"Sports games are marching ever-toward replicating every aspect of the very real-life competitions they attempt to embody in digital form, but it's unquestionably an uphill battle. Stats must be managed. Egos and the decisions attached to them must be personified by a bunch of ones and zeroes. Player abilities and highlight reel appearances wax and wane. The game of basketball itself is an intricately detailed menagerie of random happenstances guided only by the skill of the players on the court and, perhaps, just a few injections of fate; an unpredictable series of events that have a very, very long way to go before they're replicated in games in even a remote fashion like they take place in real life.

This is where Synergy Sports Technology comes in. Culling literally years of scrutinizing detail and information on players, teams and the way they interact on the actual lacquered planks of wood that make up the myriad NBA venues around the country, Synergy seeks to deliver the kind of ridiculous detail that's all but required by teams looking to break down the techniques and plays of their competition."

They're fine. I actually prefer an always connected experience.
I'd really prefer an offline way to play, but its not a bother.
I don't really like them, and am more reluctant to buy a game because of it.
I won't buy them. I want my games offline.
